title: Human visceral-fat-specific glucocorticoid tuning of adipogenesis.
abstract: Central obesity and long-term glucocorticoid exposure are both characterized by visceral fat enlargement and increased risk for metabolic diseases. In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Lindroos et al. identify LIM domain only 3 as a molecular partner for glucocorticoids required for adipocyte differentiation specifically in human visceral fat.
